Hi! I know that last year there was a machine that had both vanilla and chocolate soy milk in it, but this year there is not. As someone who is dairy-free as well as allergic to nuts, I was wondering if there is any way the dining hall could order in soy milk as it is my only option. Thank You, Sophia Kaplan
Hello Sophie

im so glad you asked. We will have soy milk back in place shortly. Sorry for the absence of this product. We will be offering it in half gallons instead of the dispenser. We are also looking into Oat Milk.

Thsnks for reaching out,
Joe Flueckiger
